Hey guys.. it's the noob again.. As i posted before, Ibought a used Hellfire SS, that needed new clutches.. Well, I went ahead and bought the Ascendancy Effortless Clutch Kit. (done deal) This Hellfire has the Crono Engine, that has been modded by Rick Brake. I wanted to get some information about this engine, so I called Rick, since he has had hands on time with it. He told me, that it's been at least 5 years since a Crono has been in his shop, and that I should send it in to him to strip down and give it a good looking over. So I did, he called me back today with some not so good news.. He said that the engine is just about shot. He said that it's a really good engine, and that if I want, he could completely rebuild it for $275. He also suggested that for $25 more he would send me a brand new modified Go-Tech GX-5R, which he says is comparable to the Crono. My question here is.. which would be more worth the money, and why? I am looking to race this Hellfire, if I can ever get it running.

Thanks,
-Gil
